Mating, Mating, The Goal Is Mating!

Returning to the house next to the graveyard, the three Ren brothers sat together to discuss their future plans. Except for the third brother, Ren Fei Fan, who was still sniffling, Ren Wo Xing and Ren Chang Sheng had calmed down.

Ren Chang Sheng said, "Big Brother, you went to the town market with Father before, right?"

Ren Wo Xing replied, "Yes, why?"

Ren Chang Sheng said, "Now that we have inherited knowledge, we know that the death of our family members was due to the outbreak of the Champion Bloodline curse. But according to our ancestors' inheritance, Emperor Guangwu's original purpose was to preserve cultivation techniques through the Champion Bloodline, which could 'inherit knowledge'. Therefore, Emperor Guangwu also sealed our bloodline, preserving only the function of inheriting knowledge."

"Back then, the Champion Marquis didn't study or cultivate, yet he was invincible by the age of twenty. He was knowledgeable in astronomy, geography, divination, and strategy, all because he inherited the knowledge of generations of Huo family cultivators and was born with top-notch comprehension and talent."

"Now that the Aura veins have revived, but the heroes of the world have no cultivation techniques, even without the Champion Bloodline, we can become great cultivators and suppress the world with our techniques, helping the Han Dynasty restore itself. At the same time, the resurgence of demons and monsters in various places will force them to slow down, giving us time to assist the Han Dynasty."

"When the Han Dynasty is restored, we will eliminate the demons and monsters and help the Han Dynasty suppress the Aura veins. When the Aura veins are quieted, our Ren family will become mortals again, and we will continue to live in anonymity..."

"According to the inherited knowledge, our Ren family did not violate any of the Locks, so how could the Champion Bloodline be triggered?"

Ren Wo Xing said, "...That means we violated them."

Ren Chang Sheng asked, "Violated them? How is that possible? We never thought of resisting the Han Dynasty or not eliminating the demons and monsters!"

Ren Wo Xing said, "Then... what if the Han Dynasty bloodline has already been severed?"

Ren Chang Sheng was stunned. "...Has it already been severed?"

Ren Wo Xing said, "I don't know. Before, there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the world was in chaos; recently, I heard that the Eighteen Route Lords formed the Guandong Army to attack Dong Zhuo, who is holding the emperor hostage... The world is very chaotic. However, the Han emperor is said to still be alive."

Ren Chang Sheng said, "Then..."

Ren Wo Xing said, "The Han emperor being alive doesn't mean Emperor Guangwu's bloodline is still present."

The two fell silent for a while. In the scene, only Ren Fei Fan's sobbing could be heard. Ren Suo, who was still watching the plot unfold, raised an eyebrow. Is it that explosive? In this world view, Liu Xie isn't of the legitimate bloodline?

Perhaps it's not just Liu Xie. There was no DNA testing technology back then, so maybe... Ugh, the noble circle is truly chaotic.

"That's the only reason," the second brother, Ren Chang Sheng, sighed. "Emperor Guangwu calculated everything during his lifetime, but after his death, he still couldn't contend with human hearts and the will of heaven..."

Ren Wo Xing said, "Fortunately, although Emperor Guangwu, in order to ensure the Han Dynasty would last for thousands of generations, did not hesitate to sever the Aura veins and cultivation inheritance, and even set up Locks to threaten us descendants with the Champion Bloodline, he also pointed out a way for our family to survive."

Ren Chang Sheng gave a bitter smile. "Big Brother, if you consider mating with Elves a way to survive..."

Ren Wo Xing said, "But Second Brother, you know, we didn't break free from the Locks at all; the Locks have instead strengthened."

"We still bear the mission. Emperor Guangwu didn't just modify the bloodline; we, who were born from the bloodline, were already unable to escape the moment the bloodline awakened."

"Even if we have rationality, when we encounter a descendant of Emperor Guangwu, we will still pledge our loyalty without hesitation; when we encounter demons and monsters, we will still spare no effort to kill them; when we encounter Elves... we will also inevitably crave to continue the bloodline."

Ren Fei Fan, who had been crying, finally stopped. He looked at his two older brothers and asked in confusion, "Mating with Elves... what does that mean?"

Ren Chang Sheng looked at his third brother helplessly and said, "It would be faster if you just recalled the inherited knowledge than asking... Sigh."

"The Champion Marquis once said, 'If the Xiongnu are not destroyed, how can one have a family?' At that time, people thought he meant he would only start a family after eliminating the Xiongnu demons, but in reality, the curse of the Champion Bloodline will spread to one's partner."

"Any opposite sex who mates with the Champion Bloodline will have their body's Aura absorbed by the Champion Bloodline and will turn into a withered corpse and die within a night. Once the Champion Bloodline is awakened, not only can one only live up to 24 years old, but they also cannot continue their bloodline."

"Back then, Emperor Guangwu found our ancestor from the descendants of the Champion Marquis's younger brother, Huo Yu, and through means, caused our ancestor to awaken the Champion Bloodline before sealing it. That's why our ancestor could have children with ordinary people."

Ren Fei Fan was stunned and asked, "This, does this mean I can't marry Xiao Cui, whom I saw at the market last time?"

"You cannot marry anyone," Ren Chang Sheng said. "Otherwise, on your wedding night, your wife will turn into a withered corpse in front of you."

Ren Fei Fan wailed again, "I'm going to be a bachelor! I've let down my parents... I'm going to have no descendants..."

Ren Wo Xing patted his third brother's shoulder, "You don't need to worry too much... We can't be husband and wife with humans, but Emperor Guangwu discovered that there are other beings in this world who can withstand the Champion Bloodline."

"Elves, also known as mountain spirits and earth spirits. Any pure elf born and raised naturally, who has never harmed humans, can live in peace with us. We can have spiritual communion with elves and gain offspring, even if it consumes a great deal of our life force... Although most elves have no emotions, we can trade with them."

Ren Fei Fan wiped away his tears, "So I won't have no descendants?"

"You won't, you won't," Ren Wo Xing said, "Our Ren family will definitely continue! We will wait for the return of a unified dynasty. At that time, we will offer the method of sealing the Aura veins, eradicating the generation of demons and the curse of the bloodline... We will never perish."

His second brother, Ren Chang Sheng, smiled bitterly, "Big brother, our descendants will definitely resent you."

"This is our fate... Let them hate," Ren Wo Xing gave a tragic smile, "After accepting the inherited knowledge, I no longer know if this emotion is generated by Emperor Guangwu's Lock, or if I am infected by the will of Champion Marquis to protect the world and slaughter all demons."

"They will surely Cross My Corpse, cleanse the demons of time, and witness the birth of a peaceful and prosperous era... They will also usher in the day when the Aura veins are quiet and the bloodline is dormant."

"This is our mission, the responsibility of carrying the Dao tradition, and also the curse of the Guangwu Lock. We are born because of fate, and we die because of fate..."

At this point, the cinematic was completely finished, and the game officially began.

In the picture was the house where the Ren family had just been discussing. It was actually just a wooden house. The perspective was like sitting in the main seat, seeing two rows of chairs at a glance, and the courtyard outside the door.

The elegant-looking second brother, Ren Chang Sheng, was in the lower right corner of the screen, seemingly acting as a game guide, saying:

"Now, Big Brother, you are the head of our Ren family."

"Currently, our strength is still very weak, and the outside world is in chaos. We should first cultivate and gain some strength before doing other things."

Then the "Cultivation" option appeared in the left list. After Ren Suo clicked it, the game popped up a display: "Please choose the direction of cultivation for the next season."

"You have 3 action points to allocate."

"Cultivation items include: Attack, Defense, Reconnaissance, Movement, Healing, Management."

3 action points, and there are 3 people in the Ren family now. Is it related to the number of people?

Ren Suo randomly selected, and Ren Chang Sheng said, "Okay, our three brothers will study attack arts together this autumn."

Just study arts directly? Don't you need to cultivate?

Ren Suo twitched the corner of his mouth, and then saw the timeline in the upper left corner change from Autumn of 190 AD to Winter of 190 AD. The big tree in the courtyard outside the house was also bare, and his second brother, Ren Chang Sheng, was wearing several layers of Clothing - the Clothing even had patches.

The screen displayed: "After cultivation, you have learned more attack arts, and your attack ability has increased!"

"Ren Wo Xing learned Sword Control Technique!"

"Ren Chang Sheng learned Flame Art!"

"Ren Fei Fan learned Spirit Spear Technique!"

Ren Chang Sheng: "Patriarch, we have a guest!"

Suddenly, a girl wearing a brown robe with black hair and black eyes appeared outside the door.

Girl: "I am the Tai Bai Plain Earth Spirit. I have come to ask the immortal masters for help in killing the Demon Soldier Ghost General that has spread to Tai Bai Plain."

Ren Wo Xing: "What is your origin? What is a Demon Soldier Ghost General?"

Tai Bai Plain: "Immortal masters need not hide. The three immortal masters are young, but after the Aura veins recovered, their cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, making them great immortals of this era. The Demon Soldier Ghost General is a killing evil spirit born from the resentment and death energy gathered on the Hulao Pass battlefield to the east, within the piles of corpses and dead souls. Where they pass, not a blade of grass grows, and where they stay, disaster is bound to occur. Now they have entered the Tai Bai Plain area, not far from the immortal masters, so I have come to request the immortal masters' help."

Ren Chang Sheng, who served as the strategist, asked, "You are an Earth Spirit? Then what are the benefits if we help you drive away the Demon Soldier Ghost General?"

Tai Bai Plain showed a hint of astonishment: "Before the Aura veins were quiet, I remember that slaying demons and devils was the duty of cultivators... But I am just an Earth Spirit, who has slept for a long time and only awakened because of the recovery of the Aura veins. I really have nothing to give to the immortal masters..."

Ren Chang Sheng seemed to want to play the villain, and smiled, "Our family has a method of spiritual communion, which can unite with elves and produce offspring."
